with my new job addition (that makes 2 jobs), and fulltime school, I cannot feasibly run the 4K contest this year. I couldn't possibly be active enough in the process to give the contest the attention it deserves.

I am still willing to provide hosting for the contest, including the webspace and database, but JGO needs to find a new manager.

I'd also have no problem returning next year, as it has been alot of fun the last 2 years.

I'm know that not 100% of the paricipants were happy with my managing strategy, so maybe this is a positive step for those individuals.

I still *plan* on providing the new site. if that doesn't pan out, the old system is ready to go, as always.

responsibilities include:

checking the "game queue" daily for new games and filtering out spam before it hits the game charts

appoint and moderate a judging panel

actively participate in as many game threads as you can

review rules and edit what's neccessary to provide the most fair contest possible

I will still handle the other behind-the-scenes duties (such as size validation, game archiving, etc.). I simply need someone who can devote 3 months to be the public relationist for the contest. I'm still going to archive the games, provide the webhosting space, and distribute the prizes given to us by sponsors.

If I may suggest someone, CaptainJester looks very commited to the contest. He was the one who invited me to participate, too. But I don't know if he's up to it, he might also be a busy guy =D

I'm sure someone as capable as necessary will pop up But we could split the work among other developers this year. Since I plan to participate, I can't help very much, but I'm sure some people here would gladly accept some tasks.

It doesn't prevent you from participating, but it certainly adds a 'burden' that will consume a bit more of anyone's spare time

By the way, if you have any other minor tasks where you would use some help, let us know. For example, my main job is enterprise application development - and I've done tons of web applications in Java, with dynamic content management systems. I am not complaining about the current web site, but if you have some cool ideas for a submission system, former entries browsing, etc.. that you never get the time to get them done, feel free to mail me and I'll help you the best way I can.
